This script features thin, monoline strokes with a consistent rightward slant and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous ascenders and descenders that create a tall, willowy rhythm. Capitals are more ornate, using looping entry strokes and occasional swash-like turns, while lowercase forms stay restrained and slightly separated in places, giving a light, breathy texture. Counters remain open and rounded, and the overall stroke behavior stays smooth and controlled, like a fine-pen handwriting.
Best suited to short display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and quote graphics. It also works well as an accent script paired with a sturdier serif or sans for body text.
The tone is refined and intimate, with a soft, handwritten charm that feels personal rather than formal. Its slender lines and looping capitals lend a romantic, boutique-like character suited to expressive, graceful messaging.
The design intention appears to be an elegant, pen-written script that prioritizes grace and fluid movement over dense readability. It aims to deliver a refined handwritten signature feel with decorative capitals and a light, lyrical texture.
The numeral set follows the same delicate line quality and slanted posture, reading cleanly at display sizes. Spacing appears intentionally light to preserve the airy look, and the most distinctive personality comes from the capital letters’ flourishes and long, sweeping strokes.
